Dear Friends,

Oath taking ceremony flopped badly at the big auditorium of Aiwan-e-Iqbal Lahore. Administration could not start the ceremony due to the unavailability of addressees and invited guests. Participants started to move out of the auditorium after two hours. This situation added into the puzzle. Confused administration started the program in the presence of round about sixty participants  expectations and arrangements were of at least four hundred participants.

Chief Guest Mr. Mujtaba Shuja ur Rehman (Minister of Education, Literacy, Excise and Transport, Government of Punjab), and Guests of Honor Mr. Ahad Cheema (Secretary, Higher Education, Government of Punjab) did not attended the program.

Mr. Umer Rasool, Director General, Lahore Development Authority was present at the moment who took oath from the hosting body of Chief Librarians.
At the moment one honorable Chief Librarian announced his Boss to be the Patron in Chief of PLA and Mr. Umer Rasool to be the deputy Patron of PLA. Both of them (Patron and Deputy Patron) have distinction of doing nothing for librarianship or librarians' community.
Agenda of first session concluded with some speeches. Before second session "Seminar on Library Technologies" and lunch there was a tea break. Program management could not proceed the described agenda. Ceremony ended after a very short first session and lunch.

Dear friends,
Now, Nobody has courage to post above story of PLA Punjab Branch Oath Taking Ceremony. Anyhow, Let's wait and see what they design for the next time for their promotion
